Soil fungi are crucial drivers of log decomposition in forest ecosystems, but how soil fungal
community composition varies during the process of log decomposition remains poorly …

The effects of logging on forest ecosystems are severe and long-lasting. In addition, these
effects are often paralleled with shifts in soil fungal community composition and functional …

Introduction Logging impacts millions of hectares of forests globally every year, and not only
affects tree cover, but also disrupts below-ground soil communities that are essential for …

Coarse woody debris supports large numbers of saproxylic fungal species. However, most
of the current knowledge comes from Scandinavia and studies relating the effect of stand or …

Coarse woody debris (CWD) and litter are important habitats and nutrient sources for soil
fungi. However, the roles of CWD and litter in maintaining soil fungal community composition …

A major gap in understanding the relationship between tree diversity and litter
decomposition concerns knowledge of the saprotrophic fungal communities mediating …

Wood‐inhabiting fungi (WIF) are pivotal to wood decomposition, which in turn strongly
influences nutrient dynamics in forest soils. However, their dispersal mechanisms remain …

Wood-inhabiting fungi may affect soil fungal communities directly underneath decaying
wood via their exploratory hyphae. In addition, differences in wood leachates between …

Soil fungi have essential roles in ecosystems, but the seasonal dynamics of soil fungal
communities in forests remain unclear. To explore the pattern and variation of soil fungal …

Soil bacteria play a vital role in soil processes within forest ecosystems, yet the changes in
the structure and function of soil bacterial communities with decaying logs and forest gaps …
